Installation

Standard Packages

Standard install packages for Redhat and Ubuntu are the easiest method to install LQR since it:

puts binaries in canonical Unix locations

makes upgrades and uninstalls seamless

installs dependencies automatically

To donwload these packages, head to our repository page at https://www.vitorian.com/repo/lucisqr/latest/

Warning

You will not be able to use command line binaries like curl or wget to download the installer due to our web server anti-hacker protection mechanisms. Download using your normal web client as Firefox, Safari or Chrome and copy to your local Unix machine.

There you can find *.deb files for Ubuntu (Debian) and *.rpm packages for Redhat RHEL (CentOS,Fedora).

If you downloaded debian packaged files, install them with dpkg

$ sudo dpkg -i lightqr-ubuntu20.04-0.1.1-20220716.x86_64.deb

In Redhat systems use rpm instead:

$ sudo rpm -i lightqr-centos7-0.1.1-20220716.x86_64.rpm

Online Installer

If your system does not accept any of these formats, give a try on the online installer.

Download the file installer.run and copy the executable to a temporary folder.

Note

Remember to set the execute flags on this file with chmod ug+rx installer.run

Once the file is downloaded and the execute bit is set, run it with ./installer.run. A welcome screen will be shown

Next a screen will ask you for a destination folder. By default we use /opt

Then enter the operating system files that you want to download. Note that only the files specific for the given OS will be downloaded.

Accept the commercial license.

Then hit Install for the download to begin

The download will begin, then followed by unpacking of the downloaded files

And hopefully everything will come to an end

Note

Unlike the packaged versions, which are installed in the default system folders /bin, /usr/bin and /usr/lib, the default location for the binaries will be /opt/lightqr-<version>
